have you guys ever heard of the tarot/tarot cards? no one knows their origin but they are 78 cards that are used for reading the future. one of the cards is the tower, or sometimes the "lightning struck tower" which is the title of the chapter in which dumbledore dies!! the card symbolozies a fall from glory, the revealing of enemies(haha..that would be snape), and that things dn't turn out as planned.meet opposition with compassion and sympathy(sound like dumbledore?). the card also symbolizes unhappiness, disgrace, surprise, deception, and ruin. i would say this mirrors the chapter very well.
